Webinar with listeners only about janus-plugin-sfu HOT 7 CLOSED

Comparing to the others solutions, this is somewhat similar to janus videoroom plugin I guess, but videoroom plugin is hard coding 5 publishers maximum (was 3 previously).
Hubs moved to dialog/mediasoup and is able now to have a lobby with 75 subscribers in the lobby listening to the publishers' audio, and 24 publishers in the room.

You're definitely right that currently the code assumes that every user will have a publisher which is sort of the "master" connection for that user, or else things don't make much sense.

This sounds like a fine idea, but I'm kind of hesitant to put a lot of work into it until the Janus multistream changes are live, because everything would change dramatically.

(In general, once multistream is in, I'm open to doing a bunch of work to refit the plugin to your needs and to anyone else's needs who is interested in it, now that Hubs moved away from it -- it will depend on how much demand there is and how cool I think your projects are. But until then I am not really motivated to make big changes. Of course, in the meantime, I am happy to answer questions, help review any changes you make, etc.)

I'm not asking you to do all the work @mqp :-)
I'm glad you did all the changes recently and answered my questions. A big thanks for that!
I want mainly to start a conversation here and see if there is an interest for others. If I really need it, I'll start to learn rust more seriously. ;-)
I agree this use case can include some important changes.
It depends of the use case, but having a publisher broadcasting in several rooms may have simpler changes and others are interested in it #55

About my comment "And we can't currently use process_subscribe without knowing the occupantId that is returned in the response of using process_join as a publisher..."
Not entirely true if you use an external users source like Phoenix Presence like it was the case for Hubs.

If you use an external users source, you can already use process_subscribe to have listeners only in the room and without security check if I understand it correctly.

I confirm you can use today the subscribe message that will call process_subscribe and it doesn't check security, see my comment
